Lone Soldiers Celebrate Rebbe’s Birthday

A group of fifteen American Lubavitchers in the Israeli Army were hosted for a Farbrengen in honor of Yud Aleph Nissan at the home of Mordechai Botnick. They call themselves ‘the Rebbe’s infantry.’

Mordechai Botnick told Crownheights.info, “We had a very inspiring farbrengen, during which a few guys made some amazing hachlotas, and we discussed the Rebbe’s outlook on our fellow yid.

At the end we gave out shmura matzah, and gave everyone a chance to sell their chometz
properly before heading back to base for Pesach.”

He plans on hosting a Seder for the guys that are going to be off of base, as well as the rest of the Yom Tov meals.

“Our goal is to reach out to as many soldiers as possible and give them all an inspiring and uplifting experience, just like the rest of us will have,” said Mordechai.
